Help help, my helicopter is full of tabs?

[green_amber]

I turn on the computer after 4 days away and WHAT??!!

When did my nice predictable IE become a tabbed browser, where have all the icons that aren't Google Toolbar gone and where where are my Links at the top?

How am I going to find LJ in the morning NOW????

Damn them! damn them all to hell...

(is it just me???)

IE7 was issued as a high priority update to Windows XP, so anything running XP with the default settings and a decent Internet connection is getting upgraded automagically.

Ah, yes.

One of those settings I immediately disable, so I tend to forget it was ever an option.

I got called downstaris today by a colleague who reckoned that using my program had caused his PC to reboot. What I then spotted was the MS Update tooltray icon showing a message "I have just rebooted your machine".

Duh - so how come it's only me freaking?
And how do get my Links back at the top of the window???
(Thanks BTW. It must be nice to know everything..)

It is not only you freaking. My bookmarks all got alphabetized, which is not at all the way I had them and not particularly useful. But there is a little star over on the left-hand side of the screen (under the Yahoo Y) that still has the old list. Maybe yours is different.

I have Mozilla Firefox on the computer upstairs, and I think learning new software packages is not my most favorite hobby.

And how come all these fonts have changed? Duh. Big and legible, how nice.
